Question 1

please give me your opinion on soy based baby formulas, in particular nursoy.  thank you!

Accepted Answer

Soy formula: Let&#x27;s start by saying breast is always best. But if this is absolutely not an option and formula a must, soy is perfectly adequate for nutrition. Many babies have difficulty handling cow&#x27;s milk proteins or the lactose present in cow&#x27;s milk. Soy is both lactose free and cow milk protein free. All formulas are supplemented equally with regard to vitamins and minerals. Brand does NOT MATTER.

Question 2

my infant has been having dysbiosis. what can i do if i cannot nurture her enough, and i need to give her some baby formula?

Accepted Answer

M.D. visit: I would suggest discussing supplemental formulas and probiotics with your pediatrician. Breast milk is the best formula and enhances gut immunity.

Question 3

is similac advance baby formula harsh on babies stomach?

Accepted Answer

not for most: As one of the most successful formulas today this could not be if it were harsh on babies stomach.There are numerous reasons a baby may not tolerate a specific formula, and these are specific to the child.

Question 4

is it safe to mix baby formula? (similac sensitive with enfamil infant)

Accepted Answer

Depends: Formula is not paperclips. There can be minor differences in the ingredients that babies gut may deal with differently.This can result in changes in digestive patterns, cramping,loose stools,constipation etc.while switching back and forth. That said, some kids won't notice any difference and will do well,(or poorly) on one or both. Best find one that works and stick with it.

Question 5

what baby formula for gassy babies taste best to breastmilk?

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't switch: I wouldn't switch from breast milk because of gassy baby. Typically babies are gassy because they swallow a lot of air. This should improve when the baby is more efficient at eating. Typically this is by 6 months of age.

Question 6

which baby formula to start on?

Accepted Answer

Adding formula...: After a baby has learned to be a good breastfeeder, it is ok to supplement breastfeeding with formula. Normal babies can drink any regular cow-milk infant formula (can select a well-known brand). However, supplementation is not needed unless the baby is very hungry after breastfeeding and cannot wait until the next breastfeeding; or unless the baby is not gaining weight properly.

Question 7

is it okay to reheat baby formula?

Accepted Answer

I suppose,but: I never encourage heating it to begin with. Heating bottles are a old time practice that makes little sense & does little for baby.After microwaves came along it  resulted in many mouth burns due to overheating. Babies get use to it at room temperature or right out of the fridge.

Question 8

is there such a thing as a natural baby formula?

Accepted Answer

Home preparation: Some formulas are made with natural ingredients and are so labeled.  You can transition in to home prepared natural ground and strained foods.

Question 9

is it ok to switch from simlac baby formula to gurber baby formula?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: In general all infant formulas have similar calorie and nutrition content. Some parents feel bad hey baby made it one formula better than another, but in general there are no problems with switching from one infant formula to another.

Question 10

wich brand of infant formula is best?

Accepted Answer

Equal: No one brand is better than the other. If you still have the option, breast milk is the best nutrition you can provide for your baby.
